TRIGGER PULLED FOR FIRINo.
expected will meet all the requirements Of
the most severe test. Tho gun is the result Of
long, tireless experiments, under the powerful
patronage Of the German government OF the
Swiss Vetterti rifle. Its official designation
is M '7l-'s4," the title indicating the years
of its development and tho fact that it en-
ploys tho magazine principle. 1t Is claimed
that the construction of this gun is such as TO
avoid most Of the drawbacks that have at
tended other and moro complex arms OF the
same general type. With the bayonet at
tnched this gun Is five feet seven inches long,
and with magazine empty, and without
bayonet, weighs ten pounds: with bayonet
eleven pounds nine ounces.
Among the improvements it embodies
which are worthy OF note are these: 1t is
shorter than the old CUR and consequently
its center Of gravity lies further back; this
facilitates good aim. The cartridges, after
firing. are expelled by a spring, instead OF be-
ing jerked out by hand. The trigger pulls
easily and there is little recoil. The maya
zine. consisting of q barrel running parallel
with the bore, contains eight cartridges,
which are pushed backward by means of q
spiral spring. As they enter the lower cham
Der of the lock a so called spoon" lifts them
into the firing chamber, whence, as already
stated, the shells are subsequently expelled
by a special contrivance. Ordinarily the
gun is used for simple firing, and the manipu-
lations are the same in that case as for maya
zine firing. But there are times in every
action, Of course, when tho latter use Of the
gun must be made, and by this method all
aimed shot can be made In from two to three
seconds, or about half the time required
when single shooting is practiced. But
the commanding officers must be care
full to see that the reserve or maya
zine cartridges are not used waste
fully-that they must be reserved for such
times as require the most rapid and destruc-
tive work, such as the climax Of q charge, a

SPECIMEN ORCHID. and they made the
rounds emitting long botanical names without
intermission-
The orchid pronounced or-kid, as any die
tionary win tell YOU is more Familiarity called
an air plant, because they seem to live on air.
In other words they are floral adopts who are
far in advance of other floral and even of
human beings, having learned to draw sus-
tenance from the atmosphere-a thing it Is
predicted we will all one day do, when we
have reached O more refined and spiritualized
condition.
They grow away up in the air upon O.
branch, with their roots twined around the
limbs of trees, thus holding themselves in
position. In their native places they thrive
without care or attention; they know no such
thing as being fortified or watered. Some
times they droop downward to the length of
eight or ten feet. The whole family of orchids
are noted for their eccentricities. Some of
them refuse to grow at all unless hung up by
the heels, heads downward. Then they flourish
with iinpish exuberance, their grotesque faces
grinning defiance to everything.
They often resemble animals, reptiles, and
even man, the most conceited animal of crea-
ton; but the resemblance is by no means so
striking as enthusiastic writers have painted
it, Fantastic they are in shape, to be sure,
and this adds to the interest in them.
What are orchids, anyway says some one
not learned in the fora of the earth, as few
are. They are plants of the same great class as
indian corn; t..ey belong to the monocotyle-
dons, plants with only one seed lobe, and are
all peculiar In their form and functions.
For this reason they repay all the study put
upon them. They have curious properties,
extraordinary forms and remarkable habits.
They are the eccentrics of the gardens, and
they are a luxury, which only the rich can
afford. They are gathered from every
latitude and grow under every climatic con-
dition. Hence, in roaring them artifcially
several green houses are necessary for a
collection including any great variety. A
single orchid plant has been known to cost
hundreds and even thousands OF dollars.
The English are great orchid collectors.
Indeed, we must admit that they are our
teachers in orchid lore. Their spacious con-
servatories and abundant leisure and means
enable them to have the best varieties, and n
large number Of them.
In color they are as wonderful and varied as
i'll form. One flower often has many coloIs.
In no other flower will there be such singular
